Chapter 285: Break the Balance and Take the Lead! (2-in-1)
The presence of the CPs of the world government spy agency did not add any different colors to Cyrus's wedding.
A group of people involved in the world government, led by Uliseas Guderian, behaved very well-behaved, and they also behaved very restrained when eating.
Ulises Guderian, who was seated with Jiguoyuan, was also personable and dignified, and there was no cold scene between him and King Liku, who was sitting next to King Liku, and the two talked happily.
On the contrary, between the two navies of Jiguoyuan, there was not much to say during the banquet.
Yuanyi himself is a character with few words, and Mihawk is the same, Tiger and Jinping are very steady, relatively speaking, they are a little off the line with a smile, and after hastily picking up a few chopsticks and dishes, they are tinkering with their own sieve cup over there.
Halfway through the feast, Scarlet took Cyrus's arm and came to the table to toast Ji Guoyuan and the others. It was the first time that Ji Guoyuan knew that Dressrosa's wedding still had such a custom, and he didn't like to drink, so he just used tea instead of wine.
When Ulises Guderian arrived, Cyrus and Scarlet were stunned, neither of them knew who the young man was or why they were at the table.
The feast was arranged according to the distance between relatives and relatives, and at the table of the next to the country, they were all the closest family members of Scarlet and Cyrus, or partners.
And at this time, King Riku stood up with a smile and gave Cyrus a brief introduction to Uliseas Guderian.
Hearing that the other party was from the world government, although Cyrus maintained a calm face, he set off a storm in his heart, and his eyes slanted slightly, looking at Jiguo Yuanyi.
It's no wonder that Cyrus has such sentiments, as the current supreme commander of the Dressrosa naval base, Cyrus knows too well what Dressrosa is buriing.
Not to mention that Ji Guoyuan once had a conflict with the world government and was separated from the Navy Headquarters. Even without this, Dressrosa still has a lot of time bombs planted.
O'Hara's remnant, One Piece's wife and son.
Either one exposure will attract the attention of the world government.
Ji Guoyuanyi's own strength is strong, and he is against the world government, and strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with them Dressrosa.
Even if the world government wants to find trouble, it will most likely only target Jiguo Yuanyi.
However, taking in the remnants of O'Hara and the wife and children of One Piece could lead to mass murder.
Ji Guoyuanyi didn't seem to notice Cyrus's gaze, and drank tea calmly, and Cyrus's gaze didn't stay on Jiguoyuanyi, and after a quick glance, he knew what to do.
Cyrus did not treat Ulises Guderian differently, but smiled and said some scenes, and drank all the wine in his hand.
"Mr. Cyrus, Your Highness Scarlet, this is a congratulatory gift for the two of you."
"It was carefully selected by the lord and specially given to the two of them."
Ulises Guderian said, pointing to the pure gold box that was in the hand of King Riku at this time, and said with a smile.
"So valuable?"
Cyrus's gaze followed the direction pointed by Uliseas Guderian, and he couldn't help but murmur, and then looked at the other man with some strange looks.
It was the first time that the world government had given a gift to a princess of a confederate country, and this was the first time Cyrus had heard of such a strange thing.
He already felt that Ulises Guderian's purpose was not pure, but when he saw this golden box, he was even more determined in his thoughts.
"Hehe, Lieutenant General Cyrus, you're laughing."
"No matter how valuable it is, if it is given to you and His Highness Scarlet, it will not be valuable."
"I'm sure you've heard of it."
"It's a devil fruit known as the 'Secret Treasure of the Sea.'"
Ulises Guderian said with a smile, very clear about what he had sent.
"Devil Fruits?"
"It's actually a Devil Fruit?"
Hearing that it was a Devil Fruit, Cyrus and Scarlet were a little surprised, they thought that the gold box contained some precious jewels, but they didn't expect it to be a Devil Fruit.
This thing is indeed quite rare, and even their powerful Sword of Dawn Navy Branch only has three Devil Fruits in their hands.
The Burning Fruit that he snatched from the pirates, the Smoke Fruit that Sakasky got from Zefa's hand to Jikoku, and an unknown Devil Fruit that Jikokuichi obtained from the volcano of that strange island.
These three Devil Fruits are all the fruits of the Sword of Dawn.
Ji Kunichi is not very interested in most Devil Fruits, and for him, even the rare nature system is not very attractive.
But Ji Guoyuan doesn't care, it doesn't mean that the Devil Fruit is not precious.
Every Devil Fruit is precious, there is no doubt about it.
"Hehe, yes."
"Carefully selected Devil Fruits, given to the two newcomers."
"Animal type, canine fruit, wolf form."
Ulises Guderian didn't sell it either, and introduced with a smile.
Hearing that the fruit was an animal system, Cyrus didn't have a big reaction, thinking about it, the natural system and the animal system phantom beast species are both strategic resources, and it is impossible for the world government to send anyone to the subordinates of Ji Guoyuanyi.
But when Cyrus heard the name of the dog fruit, he couldn't help but look at Ulises Guderian.
And Ji Guoyuanyi, Mihawk and Yixiao, who were sitting at the banquet, also stopped eating at this moment.
The eyes of several people looked at Ulises Guderian one after another.
This Devil Fruit has really been carefully selected!
The atmosphere, which was supposed to be good, instantly cooled down when Ulises Guderian said the name of his Devil Fruit.
Even King Liku, who had been communicating smoothly with Ulises Guderian, stiffened the smile on his face for a moment, squinting at the expressions of Cyrus and his daughter, and frowning slightly.
"Inu Fruit!"
"Is it really appropriate for us to give us such a valuable thing?"
Scarlet was stunned, gently squeezed Cyrus's arm, and then forced a smile on his face.
However, Cyrus was not as tactful as his wife, and after snorting lightly, he patted Scarlet's hand and said in a deep voice:
"Whether it's a sincere gift or a deliberate insult to me, I still know this kind of thing!"
"Ulises Guderian, right?"
"Do you know where you are now?!"
Cyrus's chest was full of anger, and although he tried his best to suppress his anger, he still showed his attitude between his words.
If it was something else, it would be fine, but today is different, today is an important day for Scarlet, and he will never allow anyone to humiliate his wife.
"Where?"
"Isn't this Dressrosa? It is a member of the world government, and it is the Dressrosa where the 'just' navy is stationed. ”
"Lieutenant General Cyrus, have you drunk too much to ask such a question?"
"Would you like to go get some rest first?"
Ulises Guderian stood up slowly, his hands on the collar of his suit, and said with a smile, his handsome face showing no fear at Cyrus' anger.
"CP0, this isn't anywhere else."
"You are now in the Sword of Dawn Navy Branch!"
Cyrus pressed it on top of the golden box, and under Cyrus's hands, the golden box began to slowly deform. Relying on the strength of his flesh, Cyrus easily kneaded and deformed the gold box made of pure gold.
"Lieutenant General Cyrus."
"Dissipate your qi, it's not good if your body is bad."
"If you are not satisfied with this gift, then you are not satisfied."
"Not Yet"
"You can't just do it with me because you're not satisfied with this gift, right?"
"The righteous navy should not do such a thing!"
Ulises Guderian raised his chin slightly, but instead put his hands behind his back, looking at Cyrus in front of him as if he were an old god.
Seeing Ulises Guderian's fearless appearance, Cyrus was furious in his chest, but after all, he didn't do anything with Ulises Guderian.
Seeing Cyrus's angry face but nowhere to vent, Ulises Guderian also showed a bright smile on his face, reached out and gently lifted the top hat on his head, bowed slightly to Cyrus and Scarlet, and then bowed slightly to King Liku and Jiguoyuan and others, and said:
"It's not too early, and we've already completed the tasks assigned above, so we won't stay long."
"Ladies and gentlemen, you continue to eat and drink, and we will leave first."
"Following the general of the country, we will leave!"
"Lieutenant General Cyrus, happy newlywed."
Ulises Guderian put his chair back in its place, said goodbye to Jikokuyi and Cyrus, waved to the little boy who was traveling with him, and prepared to leave.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Cyrus clenched his fists and was in a bad mood.
Seeing Ulises Guderian and his party leave the venue one after another, Cyrus grabbed the wine bottle in the banquet, poured himself a glass of wine, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.
"General."
Jinping was a little overwhelmed, and he also felt that the other party's behavior was really a bit excessive, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice about Jiguo Yuanyi.
He understood Cyrus's depressed mood now, and if he could, he wanted to teach the other party a lesson.
Don't talk about what to do with the other party, anyway, you will never let the other party leave as lightly as you are now.
"Ulysses Guderian."
"World Government. Or rather, the Celestial Dragons sent him, not simply to embarrass Cyrus. ”
"They're tempting."
"I want to use this way to touch the temperament of our people."
"If things go well and Cyrus strikes at these people, the World Government will take advantage of the situation to strip the Sword of Dawn from its aura."
"If you want to deal with a tough enemy, you must first isolate him, and then find a way to stand on the moral high ground and point at the other party."
"First dismantle fame, then dismantle assistance, and finally, put some labels on your opponents to make everyone in the world spit on him."
"When everything is ready, it's time to officially launch a general offensive."
"This matter, I'm afraid it's just the beginning for our Dawn Sword Navy Branch!"
"There is no way for the Celestial Dragons to continue to pretend to turn a blind eye, they have already sat on the chess table, and the war has begun."
Looking at the back of Uliseas Guderian and the others leaving, Ji Guoyuan said slowly.
Regarding what Ji Guoyuan said, King Liku said that he was confused, he didn't know why the people of the world government would make such a play, and the purpose of the other party's coming should be Heavenly Gold.
But would it be good for the world government to humiliate Cyrus at the wedding of Cyrus and Scarlet? King Liku really can't figure it out.
The world government sent someone to humiliate the Navy?
What the hell is this?!
However, several people in the Sword of Dawn branch understood the meaning of Ji Guoyuanyi's words.
At the same time, I also recalled the danger in it.
Sending a "dog fruit", in the final analysis, is nothing more than insulting Cyrus in a metaphorical way, declaring the so-called "right of ownership". But if Cyrus were to take action against CP0 for this, the nature of the problem would change.
The conflict between Ji Guoyuan and the world government before, why the world government often chooses to swallow his anger, on the one hand, is that Ji Guoyuan is strong, and another reason is that the identity of Admiral Ji Guoyuan is too great.
And the world government itself knows very well that the exposure of those things will not only not have an impact on Jiguo Yuanyi, but will deepen the people's impression of Jiguo Yuanyi's "righteous navy".
In the current world pattern, the risk of a complete break with Jiguoyuan, the five old stars are unwilling to take it.
However, the development of Jiguo Yuanyi's power in recent years has also been seen by the five old stars, and they don't want Jiguo Yuanyi to continue to grow, and if they want to restrict and deal with Jiguo Yuanyi, they must first strip away his halo of "justice".
Although the five old stars want to weaken the influence of Jiguo Yuanyi, but the achievements of the Sword of Dawn branch active in the new world are too dazzling, and the Navy Headquarters tries to use Yuanyi's achievements in the new world to expand the influence of the navy, so it is also "passive" to promote Jiguo Yuanichi and expand Jiguo's influence.
Now in the four seas, if you find someone to ask about Jiguo Yuanyi, I'm afraid there will be no one who doesn't know.
The famous sea thieves who have died in the hands of Ji Guoyuan over the years can't be counted on two hands.
The terrifying fame shrouded in justice is one of the talismans of Jiguo Yuanyi, so that the five old stars dare not act rashly.
As for Ji Guoyuanyi's other talisman, that is his terrifying strength.
Ulises Guderian, who left the wedding venue, quickly returned to his ship with his men, and Ulises Guderian stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the wedding venue in the distance, and was immediately relieved to see that there was no navy to follow.
Ulises Guderian leaned lightly against the railing, leaning lightly against the railing, holding on to the railing.
"Captain Ulysses? What's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? ”
The boy who was following Ulises Guderian saw the "weak" appearance of his leader, and immediately asked with concern.
Ulises Guderian leaned against the railing, slowed down for a long time before exhaling a heavy breath of turbidity, ignoring the boy's concern, looking at the sea and muttering to himself:
"I've already walked around the ghost gate."
"Next, as long as you steadily collect the heavenly gold and send it back to the holy land, you will succeed!"
Ulises Guderian, who was still fearless after the meeting, was immediately embarrassed when he returned to the ship.
Ulises Guderian was not as fearless as he had been at the wedding venue, and at the banquet, when Jikokuichi's eyes looked at him, Ulises Guderian felt his heart beat out of his chest.
It's only now that I've slowly calmed down.
But Ulises Guderian knew very well that the matter was far from over.
He was praying in his heart right now, praying that Jikuni Ichijin was an upright and righteous navy as described by the information he had received.
If the information is wrong, I'm afraid there is really no way for them to leave the new world.
The ships of the World Government, after the wedding of Cyrus, still did not leave the military port.
After the ship docked for nearly three days, the Kingdom Guards escorted a large number of coins, belongings, supplies, and other things to the shore, and then transported them to the cruise ship one by one.
The heavenly gold is harvested every three years, and today, it is the day to pay the heavenly gold, and in the past three years, 70% of the national tax revenue of Dressrosa has been here.
Dressrosa has a large population, so the heavenly gold is also very large, and as soon as this money and materials come out, the whole country is broken, and the country's development speed is also greatly reduced.
Even a country like Dressrosa, which is still rich, is a little unbearable, and some small countries can't afford the heavy heavenly gold at all, and the kingdom that pays the heavenly gold, let alone develop, can survive, which is an extremely difficult thing.
The kingdom is wise, and will tighten his belt, trying to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and maintain national stability.
Some stupid tyrants will directly send unproductive old people and disabled people to reincarnate in order to reduce the burden.
In a huge world, I am afraid that few countries can afford the heavenly gold without oppressing the people like Dressrosa.
Next to the cruise ship, there is a full-time CP9 that records the supplies put into the cabin and quickly calculates the value of these things.
When loading and unloading goods on the cruise ship, the curious people were also looking at the seaside, looking at the boxes of "heavenly gold" put on the ship, looking inexplicable.
In the office of the branch base, Cyrus stood by the window, looking at the scene of loading and unloading goods on the harbor, and let out a soft sigh:
"Such a heavy amount of heavenly gold, just over the years, King Liku was able to take it out smoothly."
"I heard Scarlet say that in previous years, in order to raise heavenly gold, the people had to cut back on food and clothing, and even one year there was a tsunami, and the kingdom sent 2,000 mercenaries to help the Kesai Kingdom fight, so as to gather this heavenly gold."
"The people are more afraid of the world government than they are respectful, and the vast majority of the onlookers are probably very unwilling in their hearts, and the taxes they pay have not been used to develop the country, nor have they become the force to protect the country."
"Instead, it was squandered by those Celestial Dragons"
In the office, Ji Guoyuanyi was drinking tea, Yixiao, Tiger and Jinping had already gone back first, and Yuanyi took advantage of the effort to come to Dressrosa to take a look at the development of the naval school.
Today, in my spare time, I came to Cyrus's office to talk to Cyrus about the development direction of the branch, and drank tea by the way.
"Onlookers?" Hearing Cyrus's words, Ji Guoyuan's expression froze, put down the teacup and immediately walked to the window, looking at the coast.
Seeing the scene on the coast, Ji Guoyuan had a premonition that something was wrong.
Headquarters of the Navy, Marin Fando.
"Report! The 63rd branch of the West Sea was attacked, and the person who attacked it was the militia regiment of the Saiya Kingdom! ”
"Report, there has been a riot in the Principality of Koti, where the 116th branch of the South China Sea is located, and the naval branch has also been attacked by the rebels!"
"Report, the dragon of the self-warriors has appeared! Traces of the self-warriors were found in the Keming Sea of the South China Sea. ”
One morning, the Sengoku office was always full of people, and Sengoku sat behind his desk reviewing documents and information.
From time to time, naval officers come to report with information from all over the world.
After listening to several reports in a row, the Warring States Marshal finally punched the table angrily and said angrily:
"Bastard!"
"The job of receiving heavenly gold is not the job of CP!"
"Why are we suddenly put our Navy in charge?!"
"That's it, do we still have the kung fu to chase down the pirates?!"
"Bastard !!"
